Pfuiii... The real way to look at Higgs is here.

Tecumseh said...

Is he her significant other? I heard someone say so, but how could a prof teach in the US, and have his wife work somewhere in Euroland? Sounds complicated to me.

Prof Html! Your link's broke! Found him anyway. But I think she has had more famous squeezes. That's what our Leed guy says anyhow. Incidentally, I posted her pic instead of Connes' because Leedsman had a thing for her in MIT days.
Why do you think Carlos Simpson's is the way to look at Higgs? When I was studying QFT, incidentally, Higgs was considered the toilet. I wonder if that has changed.

Tecumseh said...

No, my link is not broken -- you just need to click on it harder.

Who is Leed?

Carlos Simpson: because.

Higgs: Something one should know about, yes. One of these days.

Looked at Simpson's paper. Got a third of the way through it and didn't see a damned mass prediction. He wouldn't be one of those shameless mathematicians that sex up their grant proposals by giving their stuff physicsy names, would he?

Tecumseh said...

Anyone does that?

Mr roT said...

Heisenberg group. Quantum group. Schroedinger operator. Dirac operator. Einstein manifold. Crystallographic group. Gauge theory.

Need I go on?

Tecumseh said...

OK, OK, I got it. You forgot bosonic strings, one of my pet peeves.

Arelcao Akleos said...

Yes, one prefers bosomic thangs

Arelcao Akleos said...

JJ, that is quite an MS you have strung together there

Mr roT said...

What's an MS?
